Lucy Lawless is Swinging Onto The WB's Tarzan

Zap2it reports that ex-Xena: The Warrior Princess star Lucy Lawless is joining the cast of The WB's Tarzan in the "crucial" part of Tarzan's aunt.

She will play Kathleen Clayton, a publishing magnate and younger sister of Mitch Pileggi's Richard Clayton, the acting head of Greystoke Industries. Kathleen and Richard have very different ideas of how to handle their recently rediscovered nephew Jack (Travis Fimmel). Richard believes that Tarzan must be rehabilitated and reintroduced to non-simian society, while Kathleen wants to give the monkey man time to find his own way.

Tarzan premieres on October 5. For more info, click over to The WB's website.
